how to stop hating your face (no offense)

There's a thing you do in the bathroom at one in the morning. You're not looking at your face. You're looking at one part of it, tilting your head four degrees because from that angle it's almost fine. Nobody has ever looked at your face the way you look at your face. Not once. And the ten minutes you spend doing it are the problem — not the face. Three things that actually helped, in the order they happened to me. 1. the ten minutes 2. the three things nobody tells you 3. thing one — zero, not less 4. thing two — other people's faces 5. thing three — the photo you hate 6. why reassurance bounces off 7. the jaw 8. outro If the checking is eating your whole day, that has a name (body dysmorphic disorder) and it's treatable. Talk to someone. No offense.
